This 4 Ingredient Rice Cooker Rice Pudding Recipe is the easiest version of rice pudding that I’ve seen. It takes very little work and tastes fabulous.
Rice Pudding
I know, I know— I’m walking on shaky ground with this post. Rice Pudding is a love it or hate it kind of thing. I happen to love it. Josh happens to not. But that’s the glory of being the one who usually cooks- I get to make what I want.
A long time ago I fell in love with my rice cooker. I spent $10 on an itty bitty one. I have had it for years and it’s always served me well. And then I got a new one from Zojirushi.
How to Make Rice Pudding
There are several ways to make it – on the stove, baked, in a rice cooker like this or in an Instant Pot. For this version, the rice cooker does all the work for you so you can watch tv or read magazines or take a nap. All of the recipes that I’ve tried have the same basic ingredients, with slightly different spices, but the method for cooking is different.
To make on the stove: You will use leftover cooked rice instead of uncooked like this one and standing over the stove for the beginning of the recipe.
To bake:Â This is more of an old fashioned version of the recipe. You have to use the stove first, then bake it.
To use an Instant Pot:Â Similar to this rice cooker version, only using the IP on the porridge setting.
Rice Pudding in Rice Cooker
This Rice Pudding recipe is so easy and delicious – and you probably already have these items on hand because they are pretty standard ingredients. Here’s what you need:
- rice, uncooked
- milk
- sugar
- vanilla extract
- rice cooker
Once we get past the question of “do you like rice pudding?” the next one is – with or without raisins. I know a lot of people can’t stand them, especially in their rice pudding when they are mushy.
